Victor Cherbonnier was one of Napoleon's soldiers -- apparently one of his bodyguards -- who came to America after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. On the right is his canteen: a glass bottle with a straw wrapper. In Louisiana, he eventually became the superintendant of schools in Assumption Parish. He also asked to be buried standing up, in full uniform with his musket, so that he would be ready to answer the Napoleon's call to battle in the next life!
